"There is an enemy. There is an intelligent, active, malign force working against us. Step one is to recognize this. This recognition alone is enormously powerful. It saved my life, and it will save yours." -- Steven Pressfield Could you be getting in your way of producing great work? Have you started a project but never finished? Would you like to do work that matters, but don't know where to start?The answer is Do the Work, a manifesto by bestselling author Steven Pressfield, that will show you that it's not about better ideas, it's about actually doing the work. Do the Work is a weapon against Resistance - a tool that will help you take action and successfully ship projects out the door. Picking up where The War of Art and Turning Pro left off, Do The Work takes the reader from the start to the finish of any long-form project-novel, screenplay, album, software piece, you name it. Do The Work identifies the predictable Resistance Points along the way and walks you through each of them. No, you are not crazy. No, you are not alone. No, you are not the first person to "hit the wall" in Act Two. Do The Work charts the territory. It's the stage-by-stage road map for taking your project from Page One to THE END.

James Baldwin’s final novel is “the work of a born storyteller at the height of his powers” (The New York Times Book Review).“Not everything is lost. Responsibility cannot be lost, it can only be abdicated. If one refuses abdication, one begins again.”The stark grief of a brother mourning a brother opens this stunning, unforgettable novel. Here, in a monumental saga of love and rage, James Baldwin goes back to Harlem, to the church of his groundbreaking novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, to the forbidden passion of Giovanni’s Room, and to the political fire that enflames his nonfiction work. Here, too, the story of gospel singer Arthur Hall and his family becomes both a journey into another country of the soul and senses—and a living contemporary history of black struggle in this land.
Praise for SURVIVING WALL STREET "An epic journey by a consummate Wall Street dealmaker, Scott Bok advised on some of the biggest M&As in U.S. history and built the gold standard of boutique investment banks. Bok's fast paced, insider's account delivers fresh insights on a Darwinian industry. Along the way, we meet the celebrity bankers and corporate titans who waged fractious battles to create today's investment banking world." - DIRK SMILLIE, former Forbes senior writer and author, The Business of Tomorrow: The Visionary Life of Harry Guggenheim "Scott Bok combines the skills of a Wall Street dealmaker with the gifts of a born storyteller in this extraordinary account of what happens when the worlds of business, politics, and academia collide. Surviving Wall Street brilliantly describes how the University of Pennsylvania, a storied Ivy League university, was attacked by a group of 'masters of the universe' who deployed the tools of a hostile corporate takeover in their effort to transform the school. Those efforts - rife with boardroom intrigue, secret meetings, and bare-knuckle attacks - perfectly illustrate how the previously staid world of academia has become a culture wars battleground where the search for truth collides with the quest for power." - ERIC A. FELDMAN, Chair, University of Pennsylvania Faculty Senate and Professor, Penn Carey Law School "Scott's book propels the reader into the midst of the complicated and unpredictable reality that is the world of Wall Street. His humble beginnings in Grand Rapids, Michigan contrast his experiences in this world where titans of industry become characters, personalities clash, and he sat center stage to witness it all. However, his enormous success never stopped him from being involved in philanthropy and education, and the stewardship he exhibited during his tenure as the board chairman of the University of Pennsylvania-at the height of attacks against freedom of expression-was heroic and serves as an example of a champion of democracy." - LUIS A. MIRANDA, JR., political strategist and consultant, Chair of The Public Theater and author of Relentless: My Story of the Latino Spirit That Is Transforming America
